I know this is not on subject entirely, however I can use whatever
suggestions you may have. I cannot stand another pop-up, spam or those small gray boxes that also pop-up. Does anyone have a suggestion of a program they are using to stop this insanity? If so could you also tell me why you chose this particular program. I need to do something soon. I am ready to bounce the computer right out the window. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you might give. Betty |

If you use google regularly, like most people in here, I would highly
recommend forgetting all those programs and simply install the new google toolbar. It blocks pop-ups nicely, and lets you search directly from a toolbar. Everything you'll ever need is right there.

I personally use my own custom built program called B Gone
(www.it-mate.co.uk/support/bgone) as it is keyword based, unlike most others. So if I find a website or popup that I don't want to allow, I just add a keyword(s) from it to the B Gone list, and boom... it's gone before it loads ) -- Regards Steven Burn Ur I.T.

if you use netscape you will get almost no pop ups-internet explorer lets
anything through-at least this is true with the default settings Steven Burn wrote: I personally use my own custom built program called B Gone (www.it-mate.co.uk/support/bgone) as it is keyword based, unlike most others.
